Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts the star of our dish, juicy and tender when baked to perfection.
For the Sauce
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced adds a depth of flavor that elevates the sauce.
  • ½ cup honey brings a natural sweetness that balances the tartness of the mustard.
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard this is the key ingredient that gives the dish its signature tangy flavor.
  • 2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce enhances the umami taste without overwhelming the other flavors.
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil ensures the chicken stays moist and adds a hint of richness.
  • Salt and pepper to taste, simple yet essential for seasoning the chicken to perfection.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grab a baking dish. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks, allowing for easy cleanup later!
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, enhancing the flavors. Lay them gently in the prepared baking dish, making sure they’re comfortably arranged.
  3. Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic in a medium bowl until smooth.
  4. Pour the honey mustard sauce generously over the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
  5. Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until its internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (75°C). Aim for a lovely golden brown finish.
  6. Rest the chicken for five minutes before slicing. This is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute.
  7. Optionally, drizzle any remaining honey mustard sauce over the sliced chicken.

Notes

To ensure your Honey Mustard Chicken is perfectly tender, do not overbake the chicken. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Marinating the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking can deepen the flavor. Remember that letting the chicken rest for five minutes after baking is key to retaining its juices.
